Baron Blood
Directed by Mario Bava
The spirit of a sadistic Baron is resurrected in Mario Bava's supernatural shocker. Joseph Cotton (SHADOW OF A DOUBT, CITIZEN KANE) plays the titular role while Elke Sommer is one of the dimwits who brings the Baron back to life. Soon enough she's shackled to a rack and suffering the spectre's torments. Can American professor Antonio Cantafora (DEMONS 2) reverse the damage he's done - before it's too late? Bava's only film shot outside Italy isn't as gruesome as his controversial predecessor A BAY OF BLOOD, but still manages to offer plenty of freaky frights. Contains violence and gore.

Very scared
A clever ending
I loved it, the setting was great and Joseph Cotten was clearly having a ball channeling his inner Vincent Price, who coincidentally passed on the role. After seeing him in Shadow of a Doubt, Cotten didn’t disappoint here!
This is pretty bad, unfortunately.
I only watched this movie because I knew it was the source of the audio that was used in the "Siberian Hell hole" audio that I had heard played in three different churches throughout the years in an attempt to scare/manipulate me into further indoctrination. (If you're not familiar with this, just search "siberia hell hole" or something like that, you'll find the story.) I've got a say...it was a major let down. I expected more out of the movie that ended up being used in such a ridiculous lie. Unfortunately, when it's not dreadfully boring, it's just stupid. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I didn't really like it at all.
